The second shortcut to memorizing words is: memorizing dictionaries! Why recite the dictionary? Because every word in the dictionary has a comprehensive explanation, and words that start with the same letter are all concentrated together. Not all dictionaries can be used to recite, so be sure to find a dictionary that only contains the words you want to recite. In addition, it is best to have English explanations and examples. Moreover, there must be phonetic symbols! If it's for TOFEL or GRE, pay attention to the phonetic dictionary of beauty pageant. The vocabulary at the back of the general textbook is for good students who listen carefully. Don't carry those things if you want to take a shortcut. When memorizing a dictionary, recite (z, y, x, q, j, k, u), (v, w, n, o, l), (FG, it, HM, BDE, r), (c, p, s, a) in alphabetical order, where c, p, s.
(A) can increase the sense of accomplishment, improve interest. As for why, you can understand it by looking it up in the dictionary.
(2) It is convenient to know clearly which words have been remembered and which ones have not.
(3) Be able to master the most basic words first. Among the 30,000 words, there are three grades: 3,000 to 4,000, 8,000 to 10,000 and 22,000 to 30,000. In other words, you should prepare three dictionaries separately. These grades have very different characteristics and need to be recited in different ways. I didn't realize this at that time, so I took a detour from 1 10,000 to 30,000, wasting some time, otherwise it might have broken through to 50,000! So there are three branches under the word shortcut.
The third shortcut to memorizing words is to know more words. Whether a word can be remembered depends on the frequency of meeting it on different occasions, not the length of time you look at it every time (the same rule also applies to soaking mm; ))。 Generally, you should remember a word and meet it three or four times a week on different occasions. When you mention a lot of rote learning, don't pick a word. That's what it means to remember or not. Because it doesn't matter whether it is love at first sight, the key is to have more different types of meeting opportunities. However, according to the level of words to be memorized, there are different ways to increase the chance of meeting.
The fourth shortcut to memorizing words is: Lenovo, Lenovo, Lenovo, ... What is the first action of memorizing words? Take a closer look at its appearance. What about the second and third movements? Look at its connotation and pronunciation. And the fourth action, it should be association, and then association ... is it similar in appearance to other memorized words? Similar pronunciation? Is the meaning similar or opposite? If there is, write it down quickly and add this word next to other words. In this way, when you see other words in the future, you will also think of this word, which is equivalent to another chance to meet. In addition, in the second and third levels of vocabulary, many words are composed of prefixes, roots and suffixes, with prefixes such as re, In and pseud ... and suffixes such as er, A and oid ... and then * *. If you master these prefixes and suffixes, you can easily guess the meaning of a new word. In addition, many words with similar pronunciations have similar meanings, which are common in slang, poetry and children's language.
If you recite 80 words every day, you can only recite 2400 words a month, but after mastering these rules, you can actually recite them faster and faster, and almost more than 10 thousand words are redundant. However, in GRE words, many words have nothing to do with other words, and there are no prefixes or suffixes, which seem simple and unforgettable. These words include transliteration of Greek, Italian, German, Latin and even Japanese. This can only be mastered by explaining it to others. (Be sure to pay attention! )
The fifth shortcut to memorizing words is: review! It is a normal rule that you remember quickly and forget quickly. In the process of memorizing words, review is very important. Let me summarize the law of review: review ten words first, then thirty words, and then all the words that I haven't recited before. When reviewing, you don't have to dig carefully, just scan it roughly, but you must think about its pronunciation (because English is like sound). The last words that can't be memorized must not be commonly used, because foreigners can't memorize them. Every time you recite a word with the first letter, you should review the previous one. Then recite the first letter in brackets in the last article, and then review the one in brackets in the last article. When reviewing, you should first look at the English translation of Chinese meaning, then at Chinese, and then think about its English words. As I said before, words forgotten in extensive reading and words that can't be remembered when memorizing should be recorded separately, just for the purpose of treating them differently when reviewing. If you forget the words, read them once a day. If you know them, cross them out. If you can't remember them, recite the whole letter and recite it alone. You don't need to read them at ordinary times. The review method of GRE words is very strange: crossword puzzles are needed. In other words, cover part of the word and think about how to spell the whole word. In addition, we have to consider its synonyms, synonyms and antonyms. By the way, the words in the GRE test have nothing to do with the words in the TOFEL test, that is, if you don't know the TOFEL words, the GRE may get high marks.
How to remember 6500 English words every month?
The key is to make a "timely review plan" that suits you. Only by remembering every word with the least number of reviews and the least time spent in each review can it be possible to remember 6500 English words every month.
"Timely review plan" is not immutable, and different people have different "timely review plans". The same person remembers different things at different times, and the "review plan in time" is also different, which is mainly determined by his own forgetting law. Ebbinghaus's forgetting principle provides a scientific theoretical basis for finding out his own forgetting law.
Is it difficult to make a review plan in time? The answer is yes, and it is very difficult. First of all, you should understand your own forgetting rules. Some time ago, I came across an article "The most scientific way to recite words", which mentioned that "... you must recite a lot every time. Because I am not smarter than others, others forget one-fifth of the words after I recite them, and I will never forget less than others. However, others recite ten words every day, but they can recite one hundred, forget one fifth, and there are eighty left, ten times as many as others in the smartest state. At least one hundred words a day ..... and meet more words. Whether a word can be remembered depends on the frequency of meeting it in different occasions, not the length of time each time you look at it. Generally, you should remember a word and meet it three or four times a week in' different occasions' ... "This is a method of memorizing words that you unconsciously follow without knowing your own memory forgetting rules.
A better way is:
Step one, preparation: prepare a number of small pieces of paper, the number of which is determined by the number of words you want to remember, and use it to write English words you want to remember. In principle, only one word is written on each piece of paper; Prepare 30 small cartons, 1 box to store the words learned and reviewed today, the second box to store the words reviewed tomorrow, and so on, and the 30th box to store the words reviewed on the 30th day.
Step 2, add new words: write 220 new words into a note and put them in the box of 1 every day (if you want to learn more, you can put less). At the same time, put the words in box 2 in box 1, put the words in box 3 in box 2, and so on.
Step 3, study and review: start learning the words in the box of 1, and decide which box of 2-30 to put the words you just learned according to your forgetting parameter values. Adjust your forgetting parameter values according to your review effect.
The best method is to apply the Ebbinghaus-Manet differential memory algorithm model. This model is really the easiest to remember, with the least number of reviews and the least time spent on each review. The model can automatically adapt to your forgetting rule, dynamically maintain a set of forgetting parameters for each memory item of everyone, and dynamically maintain it during the memory process, reminding you to review when it is most needed until the memory is familiar. Using this model to remember is easier, faster and firmer than ordinary traditional methods. You don't need to worry about when to learn new words and when to review the words that should be reviewed. All the work is done automatically by the system, which is incomparable to the traditional mode.
